@fbernaly I need the commons package to be updated as well, this is causing a failed check. How can I get this working? |

@feinstein: this is a lot of work! Thanks for the contribution. I will take a look. |

@feinstein : I merged your code to a test branch before merging it to develop because I want to play with it before merging it to develop. The analyzer is failing because first we need to push version |
Closes #753.
In this PR I am adding the capability to extract text from a bitmap. This was mentioned in the Android ML Kit docs, but not in the iOS ones.
I have tested this in both Android and iOS and supplied an example case too.
This is important to me because I am using the
camerapackage, but I am manipulating the image and I want to recognise text in only a portion of the image, so in order to make this I am capturing the bitmap image from the widget and cropping it, before sending it to the text recogniser.This simplifies also how we deal with images from the camera, as there are compatibility issues with the camera image formats for Android and iOS, with many open issues, so this can be used as a workaround.
